Mu Yexiao was shocked to see Qian Jiujiu in danger, and his reaction was extremely quick. He directly pulled Qian Jiujiu and fell in with the stone statue.
The other guards were also shocked when they saw this situation. The prince and princess were missing. When they didn't know what to do, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao went down at the same time.
The entire passage began to shake. The guards looked at each other. It was Nanfeng who made the decision at the critical moment: "Let's go down this passage."
Nan Feng took the lead and jumped down to the place where Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu disappeared, and the guards behind followed closely. At this time, Qian Jiujiu was already sitting on the stone statue.
The place where the statue fell was a relatively large stone chamber. Mu Yexiao lit the torch again and looked at the entire stone chamber. However, he found that there was only a golden coffin in the stone chamber. Qian Jiujiu calmed down and looked at Mu Yexiao beside him.
"Mu Yexiao, I always feel that this place is very dark and gloomy. Do you feel the same way?"
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Are you stupid? We are inside the imperial mausoleum now. What is an imperial mausoleum? A tomb! A tomb is underground, so of course there is no sunlight."
Qian Jiujiu curled her lips when she heard this: "What you said makes sense, but what should I do now?"
Mu Yexiao said helplessly: "Let's look at the map first. My torch still has light."
Qian Jiujiu opened the map and saw a symbol behind the stone statue that looked like a coffin. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other.
"Mu Yexiao, do you think we might have found the right road by accident?"
Listening to Qian Jiujiu's words, Mu Yexiao nodded: "It seems to be like this, but I don't know about those guards..."
In fact, Mu Yexiao just wanted to say that he didn't know if those stupid guards knew to follow him, but just as he said this, he heard a loud bang.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao turned around at the same time and saw that the guards had all come down. Qian Jiujiu raised an eyebrow, while Mu Yexiao breathed a sigh of relief. Nanfeng saw that the two were fine.
Then he came up and said, "My Lord, Princess, are you all right?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "I am fine, but what is that sound up there?"
Nan Feng immediately began to answer: "In reply to your Highness, the passage above seems to be collapsing, which is why there is a rumbling sound. Where is this?"
As he spoke, Nan Feng looked at the situation in the stone chamber and couldn't help but look at Mu Yexiao with some surprise. Mu Yexiao coughed twice before answering.
"We have arrived at the next location on the map, but there seems to be nothing here except a coffin symbol."
Qian Jiujiu was also studying the map. Now Qian Jiujiu figured out that the things indicated on this map should be the most important things.
It is also the only sign. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, do you think that coffin is the key to this stone chamber?"
Mu Yexiao was also thinking: "It's possible, how about I go over and take a look?"
Nanfeng, who was standing aside, also heard the conversation between the two people. What happened just now was an accident, and he would never tolerate his master and mistress getting into trouble in front of him again.
Looking at Mu Yexiao: "Your Majesty, please leave."
Mu Yexiao looked at Nanfeng, who had a determined look on his face. Mu Yexiao knew that Nanfeng had made up his mind, so he nodded and said, "Then be careful."
Nanfeng got Mu Yexiao's permission and then began to approach the golden coffin cautiously. Qian Jiujiu also widened her eyes and watched Nanfeng's movements.
He did not forget to ask Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, what do you think is inside the coffin? Is this coffin made of pure gold? Should we take it with us when we go out later?"
Mu Yexiao couldn't help but glare at Qian Jiujiu: "Didn't you hear what they said just now? The passage above has collapsed. It's impossible for us to return the same way we came."
"So you want our guards to carry such a big coffin? Who can carry it?"
Qian Jiujiu coughed twice, wanting to remind Mu Yexiao that, in fact, they didn’t need to resist at all. They could just put them into the space and take them out.
But there are so many people around, forget it, since she has made up her mind, Qian Jiujiu decided to do it and no longer pay attention to Mu Yexiao.
Instead, he looked at Nanfeng intently, and Mu Yexiao saw that Qian Jiujiu was silent, and thought that Qian Jiujiu had given up the idea and was not saying anything anymore.
Everyone focused their attention on Nanfeng who was approaching the coffin in front. Nanfeng had been walking for quite a while and was about to touch the coffin.
Suddenly, he heard a whooshing sound. Nan Feng subconsciously jumped up, and just as he jumped up, the coffin was immediately filled with arrows.
Just as Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, he felt something falling from the top of his head. It was a sharp cone made of gold, and it was a completely square in shape.
The spikes are made of gold, one end of which is sharp and can penetrate the human body directly.
It was estimated that Nanfeng would be stabbed to death by these sharp spikes. There was a coffin below him, and arrows were all around the coffin. There were also sharp spikes falling from above. At this time, Nanfeng was in a desperate situation.
At the risk of getting injured, Nanfeng dodged to the side. Another wave of arrows shot towards him. Nanfeng was unable to dodge and was hit by two arrows on his arm.
Mu Yexiao saw that Nanfeng was injured, and then he said: "Nanfeng, retreat."
After hearing what Mu Yexiao said, Nanfeng retreated. However, what was strange was that as soon as he retreated, all the mechanisms became quiet.
Qian Jiujiu wondered, could it be that the sensor of ultraviolet rays was already known at such an early time? Why would the mechanism be activated as soon as someone approached
Could it be that someone was operating these mechanisms? Soon, Qian Jiujiu gave up this idea. It was impossible. The only person guarding the tomb was Master Luka.
It is impossible that there are other people controlling the mechanisms inside the imperial mausoleum. Moreover, this is not modern times. There are video surveillance available. How could someone control the overall situation
Qian Jiujiu quickly rejected this idea, and then began to wonder how to get close to the coffin? And can this coffin be opened
He glanced at Mu Yexiao, then at the guards: "You all go together."
The person pointed at by Qian Jiujiu quickly stood up and approached the coffin together. However, surprisingly, the mechanism did not work.
The four guards quickly approached the coffin. Qian Jiujiu was dumbfounded by this scene. He gave Nanfeng some medicine and had someone bandage him, then looked at the guards again.
The guards approached the coffin, and Mu Yexiao's voice came over: "Open the coffin."
The guards didn't have time to say anything at this time. They just looked at each other, then looked at the coffin in front of them, and lifted the coffin lid one by one in a corner.
Just as the coffin lid was lifted, a burst of black mist came out. Qian Jiujiu immediately reacted: "Be careful, it's poisonous. Hold your breath."
The guards and Mu Yexiao reacted quickly, so they didn't inhale much poison gas at all. However, the guards who lifted the coffin lid did not react as quickly.
He threw the coffin lid directly on the ground. Because several people fell to the ground, Qian Jiujiu frowned and called the two guards beside him: "You guys, go over and bring them over."
Soon four guards were brought over. Qian Jiujiu found that the four men were beyond saving. Facing the poison gas head-on, their faces were already festering and they looked extremely terrifying.
Qian Jiujiu frowned, exchanged a glance with Mu Yexiao, and looked at everyone: "Take out the detoxification pill and take another one to be on the safe side."
The guards all took the detoxification pills obediently, and then looked at the bodies of the four men. Qian Jiujiu sighed and stopped paying attention. Mu Yexiao also just glanced at them.
Then he looked at the guards: "Be careful."
Although the guards were sad to see their comrades sacrificed, they knew before they came that this journey was full of danger, so they came.
In addition to being loyal, they were also extremely brave. Qian Jiujiu looked at the opened coffin, wondering what was inside.
I was thinking of walking to the coffin to take a look. The trap just now only worked once, but I don't know how many times the poison will be used this time. I saw Qian Jiujiu approaching the coffin.
Qingye, who had just finished bandaging Nanfeng, shouted, "Princess, what are you going to do? Let me go."
Qian Jiujiu knew that Qingye was worried about her, so she waved her hand and said, "This princess will do it herself, you should be careful."
Qing Ye wanted to say something, but saw Mu Yexiao walking over. He stopped talking immediately. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao came to the coffin.
Qian Jiujiu looked at the coffin and saw that the poison gas was no longer coming out of it. After taking the detoxification pill, he didn't care much about the poison gas. The death of a guard was entirely due to lack of preparation.
And he didn't react fast enough, so he died. After touching the coffin, Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu's words: "It's really pure gold!"
"Mu Yexiao, if we put it into the space now, will the guards just think it's a mechanism in the imperial mausoleum?"
Because he was far away from the guards, Qian Jiujiu spoke without hesitation. Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched: "It's up to you. What you said is possible."
In fact, Mu Yexiao was very puzzled. He was not poor. Qian Jiujiu was even richer. Yangshengtang and Shengyantang had become some of the top businesses in Dazhou.
Qian Jiujiu has endless money, but is still so obsessed with money. He really doesn't know what to say, and Qian Jiujiu doesn't care what Mu Yexiao is thinking at all.
Instead, he just waved his hand and put the coffin into the space. Then a dark tunnel appeared where the coffin was originally.
